Have you been bullied because you dressed nicely?

PEACH4LIFE · 46-50, F
Not really bullied but people often comment that I dress sexy. I don't think so however, I like for my clothes to fit. I look at it as being neat and in order. 🙂
ElegantAlex · 18-21, F
@PEACH4LIFE That is the essence of elegance.
PEACH4LIFE · 46-50, F
@ElegantAlex Indeed it is.

ElegantAlex · 18-21, F
@akindheart I LOVE dressing up for church! And, yes, I do get looks. Do cars on the road slow down as they pass you?
Dlrannie · 31-35, F

Dlrannie · 31-35, F

@Dlrannie In HS I was bullied by a threesome of girls who tried to make my life miserable. But others eventually came to my support. Some of them started dressing nicely too.

@PrincessRoarBuddy I was mercilessly bullied by a threesome of girls in HS. I was new in the school and academically advanced so I was two years younger than my classmates. Being shy and rather petite with a delicate look I appeared an easy target.
@ElegantAlex Awww that's a shame to hear, I hope that they did not bother u too much and that they get or got karma for treating u like that. Best to [b]ignore them and live ur life..and enjoy ur life.[/b] Hope u left that behind you.
ElegantAlex · 18-21, F
@PrincessRoarBuddy It did get ugly. But I dealt with it and continue to do so.
Not exactly. As Catholic students we all wore uniforms, but in Jr High a couple of times a semester there was "out of uniform" day where we could wear our own clothes (though there were still guidelines). One time I wore a tailored coat my mother had made for me. It was turquoise and outside of school it was my favorite item.

While it was hanging up during class a girl I didn’t know apparently stole it and was wearing it.
I didn’t realize until one of my friends beat her up and made her take it off.
ElegantAlex · 18-21, F
@bijouxbroussard I hope the lovely coat was unsullied.
@ElegantAlex Yes, for the most part. 🙂
MiserableAtBest · 18-21, F
Eh, somewhat, I would often show up to school in leather skirts and fishnets, so I got weird looks from people and the occasional comments.

I wouldn’t say that was dressing up “nicely,” but given that most people just wore sweats, it stood out a bit.
HairbrushDiva · 31-35, F
No. Bullies are thankfully rare in my neighbourhood because they know what'll happen to them.
ElegantAlex · 18-21, F
@HairbrushDiva My problem is that here I'm about the only one I know of who can do that. Not saying it did not present challenges but bullies, from my experience, are extremely ineffective when they encounter resistance
HairbrushDiva · 31-35, F
@ElegantAlex At least you proved you can look after yourself.
ElegantAlex · 18-21, F
@HairbrushDiva Sustained some damage (slashed with knife). Dress completely ruined (and it was one of my piano performance dresses!). But, at least I was on my feet and in a position to walk away from the scene. The other three were not.
SunshineGirl · 36-40, F
I preferred to wear dresses and skirts at the weekend in my boarding school when I got older. I got teased a bit because I didn't much like jeans.
deadteddy · 26-30, F
Bullied for being “ overdressed “ according to my high school classmates one day 🙄. I wore this one shirt with sequins and they said to each other “ I wouldn’t wear that during the day, she’s so overdressed “ , the only day I didn’t go to school wearing a hoodie and jeans. They used to bully everyone , and one of them now posts pics on Facebook feeding homeless people 🤔. I wonder if she has really changed or just doing it for attention. Regardless , I’m glad homeless people are being fed.
ElegantAlex · 18-21, F
@deadteddy "Overdressed" was one of the nicer epithets directed at me.
TheDisciplinarian · 61-69, M
Never
No One is Capable of Bullying me
If needed..i can Simply Pop them

Besides
Only Power a Bully has
Is in the Ignorance to where One Relinquishs their own power and strength to the Bully
TheDisciplinarian · 61-69, M
@ElegantAlex is More then using ones Training to Fight
Yet
To Know How Not to Fight
Judo is Only one i study ( and was ranked 3rd in world on )
ElegantAlex · 18-21, F
@TheDisciplinarian Quite true. The skill is not unimportant but maintaining focus and composure even more so.
TheDisciplinarian · 61-69, M
@ElegantAlex Indeed
TexChik · F
Nope not really. Harassed is a better description. But I dealt with it.
Yulianna · 22-25, F
🌻🇺🇦🌻 in my world, dressing [b]appropriately[/b] is most valued.
Yep, although not bullied but talked about behind my back by some insecure women.
@ElegantAlex Confronting them about it would be humiliating for them because I will call them out for being insecure and that's not a pleasant experience. So I let go of such absurd behavior and just laugh about it🤷‍♀️
ElegantAlex · 18-21, F
@LilMissAnonyMOUSE It's the best way.
@ElegantAlex It is 😊
DianneV · F
Not bullied as much as teased. I’m 24 and I’m age regressed, and so I wear outfits more commonly seen on 7-10 year olds (or even younger)
ElegantAlex · 18-21, F
@DianneV I am somewhat the opposite. When I was 10 I started dressing in a rather mature adult manner in skirt suits with pearls.
I usually wasnt the target for bullies. LOL maybe an occasional passive aggressive comment, but, nah, bullies usually went for other targets.
smileylovesgaming · 31-35, F
What u mean dress nicely?
ElegantAlex · 18-21, F
@smileylovesgaming I consider jeans to be for field or industrial work requiring a robust fabric. I have neither the desire nor the requirement to engage in either. Going to school and, now, going to an office for work do not place arduous demands on clothing. Why not look my best?
smileylovesgaming · 31-35, F
@ElegantAlex when I went to the office I use to wear dresses or a skirt all the time. I don't think I wore jeans once to work
ElegantAlex · 18-21, F
@smileylovesgaming As part of my internship I work on reception. I consider myself the Director of First Impressions and always come in a dress or suit.
meJess · F
Confused people but not been bullied
ElegantAlex · 18-21, F
@meJess At school, most considered me to be an oddity. Some, however, resented the effort I put in.
meJess · F
@ElegantAlex at school I was often directed to younger grades by substitute teachers
ElegantAlex · 18-21, F
@meJess Because I dressed in a more mature manner than the others (skirt suits, dress/jacket sets) I would mistaken for staff.
Ducky · 31-35, F
No, but I've been harassed for "dressing inappropriately" or for "cultural appropriation".
Mocked at times when the attire doesn't quite fit expectations. LOL
ElegantAlex · 18-21, F
@BizSuitStacy But, I hope, that didn't stop you from looking your best
AlchemyFox · 36-40, F
Sure. There’s always a bully.
ElegantAlex · 18-21, F
@AlchemyFox Always someone who, in this zero-sum game world, thinks that your effort to look nice detracts from them.
AlchemyFox · 36-40, F
@ElegantAlex Their issue, not yours. Stay beautiful.
ElegantAlex · 18-21, F
@AlchemyFox As I know you will.
WaafaS · 26-30, F
No, but I seldom dress nicely. I'm more of just a plain jeans person.
Strongtea · 22-25, M
Yes, recently.
ElegantAlex · 18-21, F
@Strongtea Was it difficult to deal with?
Strongtea · 22-25, M
Yes, it was pretty hard, a lot of people call me and my girlf snobby for how we dress. It can be really upsetting.@ElegantAlex
ElegantAlex · 18-21, F
@Submissiveiendencies As have I. I hope you maintained your dignity throughout.
He didn't like that I was dressed fem. So I walked away shaking my ass.@ElegantAlex
DavidT8899 · 22-25, M
I know a few women who have been.
Virgo79 · 61-69, M
Why would someone do that?😏
Lostpoet · M
Actually the exact opposite.
Barbiequeen · 22-25, F
@SW-User them just haters
